Day 1 of the next 365 days.
Seems like forever, but last year few by. What are my goals for 2024?
Not to have goals.
That’s a lie. I have goals. They are ambitious goals. Goals that I have researched and studied. Goals that will make my life easier. Goals that will increase my readers and improve my writing. Goals that will make 2024 an epic year!
Goal 1:Post a blog at least 365 days. That seems like a lot, right? But isn’t that what writers are supposed to do? So that when we become famous, we can look back and have something to talk about. The problem is- I think I had this same goal in 2022 and 2023. Maybe this year, I will have the follow-through.
Goal 2:Cancel all subscriptions I don’t use. As a small business owner, money is critical. But half the time, I have no idea where my money is being spent. So, I got a planner and did all the prep work to track my money down to the penny. What did I find? Over $120.00 a month is devoted to subscriptions I haven’t used in years! That’s at least 1.5 tanks of gas. Or three days of groceries! Time to say goodbye!
Goal 3:Fold the laundry after it comes out of the dryer. Now, this might be my most ambitious goal of the year, so I will settle for the next 30 days and see how it unfolds.
Goal 4:Clean one room a day. Saturdays are challenging when you have housework and chores taking up the whole day. So I pledge to clean one room a day a week so I never fall behind. In my mind, that includes wiping down baseboards, cleaning toothpaste off bathroom mirrors, and dusting off my bookshelves.
Goal 5:Thursdays will be ‘Business Meeting Night.’ My husband and I own two different small businesses as well as working a ‘day job.’ Sometimes we get lost in the hurricane of our own world and forget to check in with each other.
Goal 6:Find a way to organize my kids’ art supplies. If you didn’t know, he’s 16 and an aspiring artist. I say aspiring, but please know that his paintings outsell my books and my husband’s reptiles at every show. With that comes an insane amount of art supplies scattered all over the house. It’s crowding my books. So I need to find a way to organize it all.
And finally- Goal 7:Try to do things after 6 p.m. I am one of those people who think heading to the grocery store after work equals social interaction. This is the year I change that! Maybe. Hopefully. We’ll see how it turns out.
So until tomorrow my friends…. keep reading and stay caffeniated!
If tales of legend, myth, and fantasy topped with a cup of coffee interest you, I suggest checking out my book, The Writer and the Librarian. It’s a historical fantasy about a middle-aged woman faced with a decision: accept what is written in the history books or find out for herself the truth behind the stories.
